Welcome to the first official “game week” of the 2017 season. The NFL kicks off on Thursday with the New England Patriots hosting the Kansas City Chiefs. Fantasy football drafts are slowly wrapping up, and soon we’ll be glued to the TV tracking fantasy results!

With that in mind, the SB Nation Fantasy War Room is open well into the evening, answering all your fantasy football questions until 10 p.m. ET. If you can’t see the comments at the bottom of the article, click here.

The Denver Broncos made the Brock Osweiler signing official. It should have no bearing on fantasy football, as even starting quarterback Trevor Siemian holds no significant fantasy value outside of two-QB leagues. Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Corey Davis will be in action this weekend, but he is expected to be limited to a snap count. And Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’veon Bell signed his tender and expects a huge workload. Plug and play with him.

The War Room is wrapping up our August/September draft schedule this week. We will be operating from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET Monday through Wednesday this week. For the Thursday kickoff opener, we’ll move to our 4-8:30 p.m. hours.

Today’s war room will feature fantasy analyst Jason Marcum answering questions. Drop in the comments with any questions you have to get ready for your fantasy drafts and the 2017 fantasy football season!

Fantasy football drafts require hitting on your high picks, but factoring in potential sleepers and busts is critical to winning your league. There will be players in the first couple of rounds who flame out, and you’ll find a player in round 10 or 11 who is the key to victory. Each week, we have taken a look at how potential sleepers and busts have performed to give you an idea of whom to consider and avoid in your drafts.

There is a host of new rookies in the NFL each season, and they can be critical to your success. If you are in a dynasty or keeper league, they hold a little more value, but even in single-year leagues, there will be rookies worth considering in your drafts. Here is Week 1 and Week 2 preseason rookie analysis.
